Digital measurement, reporting and verification system

Abstract

The present invention refers to a digital measurement, reporting and verification system with the option of using blockchain technology, which uses: official databases; satellite images; and algorithms; wherein the system also comprises: a measurement module configured to receive information from rural property registration, perform the total property calculation, evaluate the level of land regularity in the area using the databases and estimate the carbon stock; a reporting module configured to generate monitoring reports; and a verification module configured to validate the eligibility of a carbon credit project.

1 . A SYSTEM OF DIGITAL MEASUREMENT, REPORTING AND VERIFICATION with secure information storage and processing system, characterized in that said system uses:
 official databases;   satellite images; and   algorithms;   wherein the system further comprises at least one:   a measurement module, configured to receive information from rural property registration, to perform the total calculation of the property, to evaluate the level of area land regularity using the databases and to estimate the carbon stock;   a reporting module, configured to generate monitoring reports; and   a verification module, configured to provide the necessary information for the Verifier to evaluate the stipulated requirements;   wherein said modules work in an automated way and record information in a secure information storage and processing system, preferably in blockchain.   
     
     
         2 . The SYSTEM, according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the database are selected at least from the group comprising: Rural Environmental Registry (CAR); Land Management System (SIGEF); Settlements, Certified Properties (SIGEF and SNCI) and Quilombolas; Mapbiomas; MapBiomas Alert; Global Water Surface; A new high-resolution nationwide aboveground carbon map for Brazil; RADD forest disturbance alert; Burning Database; Carbon stock in pasture; Red List of Threatened Species; World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA); and the World Database of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA). 
     
     
         3 . The SYSTEM, according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the system is configured to detect forest disturbances. 
     
     
         4 . The SYSTEM, according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the system is configured to perform geospatial analysis to determine the eligible forest area. 
     
     
         5 . The SYSTEM, according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the system is configured to classify each spectral response into land use categories, such as pasture, agriculture, urban infrastructure, hydrology and native vegetation. 
     
     
         6 . The SYSTEM, according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the measurement module comprises a land due diligence step, wherein the registration of a natural or legal person is automated. 
     
     
         7 . The SYSTEM, according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the measurement module comprises a spatial limits step, wherein the calculation of the total area of the property is automated. 
     
     
         8 . The SYSTEM, according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the measurement module comprises a restriction step, wherein registration in the rural environmental registration system and registration in the land management system are automated. 
     
     
         9 . The SYSTEM, according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the measurement module comprises an eligibility step, wherein the process of evaluating historical and current land use and evaluating eligible forest is automated. 
     
     
         10 . The SYSTEM, according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the measurement module comprises a carbon stock estimation step, wherein the processes of estimating forest carbon stock, the ration of above-ground and below-ground biomass, ecological zone determination and BAU scenario carbon stock estimation are automated. 
     
     
         11 . The SYSTEM, according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the measurement module comprises a baseline step, wherein the processes of assessing deforestation risk, deforestation projection, project baseline, potential APD credit generation and potential AUD credit generation are automated. 
     
     
         12 . The SYSTEM, according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the measurement module comprises a monitoring step, wherein deforestation and fire alerts and the assessment of losses due to deforestation and fire scars are automated. 
     
     
         13 . The SYSTEM, according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the verification module comprises a discount step, wherein for analysis of the risk of non-permanence of carbon reservoirs, a 20% automatic buffer is applied and for increased carbon emissions or reduced removal outside the project borderline a 10% discount is applied.
